Uncommon, large, and spectacular bird of lowland tropical forest, mainly in wilder areas and not around human habitation. Most often seen soaring overhead in mid-late morning, often fairly high up with kettles of Black Vultures; rarely seen perched. Striking adult has a colourful head and neck, piercing white eyes, and mostly white plumage with a black trailing edge to the wings and tail.
This one was photographed from a blind in Costa Rica guided by Neotropic Photo Tours.
